Character Analysis
What kind of a person is Griffin? or Hannay ? Would you like to be his friend?
Do a Google search about "infographics", and read through the images.
Once you have researched more about what infographics are, and how to make them, create an infographic about Griffin or Hannay.
Consider using an infographic generator like infogram or piktochart. You can use whatever software you choose, but your final infographic should look like it belongs with the ones in the Google Images search.

On the Run! Writing Dramatic Dialogue
In The Invisible Man and The 39 Steps both Hannay and Griffin are on the run, they have to keep moving and they can't rest safely.
For this assignment you will have to find a partner or small group that is reading the other novel. Together, write out a dramatic dialogue between Hannay and Griffin, and focus on the idea of always being "on the run".
Your dialogue should be between one and two minutes long, and written as a pair or group (no more than 3 people). You should be prepared to read it for all of us in class next week.
NOTES:
You DO NOT need to write about the first time they meet (in fact, it might be hard to write that dialogue...go ahead if you want a challenge).
YOU CAN ASSUME that they already know each other.
You can also decide if they are friends or enemies, and all other aspects of their connection and conversation.
